If the following is correct, and I've no reason to think it's not..... what do you all think? It does seem to almost contradict the above.



"A few days ago the German Horse Law Day - a conference for lawyers specialized in horse law - had the topic of euthanasia and animal wellfare law in Germany. One argument made was that putting a horse to sleep because costs of treatment too high/owner not able to afford treatment/owner no longer able to afford keeping the horse would in some cases - especially owner no longer able to afford the horse - constitute violation of animal wellfare law. And in case of unusual high treatment costs case-to-case evaluation should be made."....... from another forum.

Spook - the link doesn't work as Horsesforever1 has pointed out, and I for one am intrigued. What did the article say?

Regarding the quote, if I'm reading correctly, it's comparing apples with oranges. German and UK animal euthanasia/welfare laws are likely to be quite different.

Done, I'm already registered for both horses and sheep with Nfsco and based on sheep experience, they are very good and in our area very quick to come out.

Ah ha, thanks magicmoose.

I do hope you are right about the apples and oranges. It sounds as if the decision might not be in the owners hands at all, but the costs of treatment might be...... a can of worms.
